Well, I got one of those discontinued Meade Electronic Eyepieces,for
free with a closeout telescope (scope was useless so I guess it was
$20 :^) and I've also always wondered what the views were in one of
these. The camera signal output is NTSC/RCA plug and was meant for
display on a low res TV set (not a computer). These were taken
through through unstable skies and the Georgia forest fire smoke
blowing through Central FL on April 29th. Individual frames burned on
a household DVD burner and later grabbed off of DVD on computer. (I
already know that there are much better cameras out there; these are
posted for those curious about that device and no doubt there are
probably better shots from this camera posted out there somewhere
too.)

and here is one where I fiddled with the contrast knob on the eyepiece
(not processed for brightness/contrast with software) even though the
moon was so bright (almost full) that this contrast detail (low-res
that it is) wasn't readily visible to the naked eye.

Here are 3 frames showing ~1 hr of Jupiter rotation with Great Red
Spot using Meade Elec. EP:

If your browser doesn't play gif animations, try the following windows
movie (make your window around 1" tall or it will be overstretched)
http://setisociety.org/jupiterrotatewinmovie.wmv
And here is the last frame of that which I think was slightly better
than the previous Jupiter Meade Elec. EP post

It's amazing how much that thing rotates in one hour!

Just adding these last two individual frames that were on that same
DVD burned Apr. 29th with Meade Electronic EP (shown here for
reporting on this device only; i.e. not good enough for lpod.)
This one shows the powdery meteorite ejecta on the far walls of the
lunar limb craters
http://setisociety.org/mooneleceyepiecewhitepowder2.JPG
A wider FOV lens for this next would have been great because even more
craters were lined up along the limb
